An early bday present from my very generous wife! Cheers, John Well I've finished the Red IPAs, and am saving the porters for Autumn. The Prancing Pony was clearly outclassed in this company I must say. The other 3 were all quite a bit better. I think the BentSpoke was the best, followed closely by the Capital Brewing, then followed closely by the CVBC. All 3 were very tasty and well made beers though, just slightly different. Although, I kind of preferred my saisons for some reason? Maybe the weather? Or maybe I'm just on a bit of a yeast-driven kick and these were all purely about the malt and hops? I'm looking forward to trying the porters though! Now that my Wyeast 3726 repitching run had come to an end I'm trying to think of what I'll brew next. It will be mid-March before I can brew anything, so maybe a Dunkelweizen might be good, or a Belgian Dubbel, or an Old Ale. Have to see what yeast my LHBS has in stock at the time I guess. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the brewery is not releasing when it’s time to drink then realistically they are not up to scratch. its the beees like RIS that will hold up to aging that is ok to do so but as a rule of thumb, bought beers shouldn’t be aged.

Otto Von Blotto Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Got the bond money back this week so because I don't know how much is left in the lager keg I decided to go grab a carton earlier. Dan's had kaiju krush in cartons so I got one of those and a bottle of Beenleigh rum to try. Stuck a 6 pack in the brew fridge for tomorrow (it will be staying cold, kegging a batch then crashing the yeast starter for a day or two), and 12 in the keg fridge taking up the space where the third keg was. Gonna have a few of those later once they chill down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't previously impressed with their beers in bottles but found the seasonal IPA and White Rabbit Dark Ale really good fresh on tap. The Pale Ale is not bad at $60 a box on special.

Well I'm glad you had a positive experience with them. Im actually not sure what I don't like about their beers. Apart from I just don't think there that special. I tried their Furphy beer a few years ago, thinking oh yeah, ill give them another chance. Then Furphy hit the tongue. needless to say I went back to 150 lashes.
